The passing of a giant, NELSON MANDELA. Our inspiration!

The passing of a giant, NELSON MANDELA. Our inspiration!

Our hearts are saddened by the passing of a giant of a man.... Nelson Mandela, who was a man of remarkable grace, intelligence, courage and strength. Our prayers are with his family and the beautiful people of South Africa. The grace and dignity in which he fought for freedom, democracy,  One man One Vote, economic parity and equality for his people and country inspired the entire world and us deeply. We will forever remember his legacy and His life's journey and how he and our beloved friends in beautiful South Africa endured the long, brutal, violent, sad, racist, inhumane regime of apartheid and are yet striving to forgive, overcome, survive and move beyond its hate filled legacy today. Rest President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela,  "Madiba". You certainly have earned your crown. We are forever indebted to you for the un-selfish sacrifices you made that impact us all.

On behalf of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation, Our ambassadors and family, Co Founder, Deborah Watts

December 12, 2013 in Omaha, Emmett Till was one of the first. Let's make Trayvon Martin one of the last. Never Again! w/ Who Killed Emmett Till? screening and panel discussion.

Emmett Till was one of the first.
Let’s make Trayvon Martin one of the last.
NEVER AGAIN!

The murder of Emmett Till in August 1955 became one of the pivotal moments of the American Civil Rights Movement because of the tireless efforts of his mother Mamie Till Mobley and many others who wanted justice for his horrific death. ...

Deborah Watts — Omaha native, Till family member and co-founder of the Emmett Till Legacy Foundation — will introduce the documentary “Who Killed Emmett Till?” and join a panel discussion as audience members observe the timeline of the murder, first-hand interviews from witnesses who were there when Emmett was kidnapped, the barn where he was tortured and killed, and the murder investigation where his killers were allowed to walk away without even a slap on the wrist.

Come, engage, share your insights with how this story is relevant today, given the current justice for Trayvon Martin efforts..

Thursday, Dec. 12
6:30–8 p.m.
Light hors d’oeuvres buffet opens at 6:15 p.m.
Fort Omaha Campus, 30th and Fort streets, Building 22
Swanson Conference Center, Rooms 201A–B
Free and open to the public.
